Interface NamingStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultNamingStrategy

public interface NamingStrategy

Determines how Java property names are translated to Cassandra column/field names for a mapped class.

This will be used for any property that doesn't have an explicit name provided (via a Column or Field annotation).

If you need to implement your own strategy, the most straightforward approach is to build a DefaultNamingStrategy with explicit naming conventions.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	toCassandraName(String javaPropertyName) Infers a Cassandra column/field name from a Java property name.

Method Detail

toCassandraName

String toCassandraName(String javaPropertyName)

Infers a Cassandra column/field name from a Java property name.

Parameters:

javaPropertyName - the name of the Java property. Depending on the property access strategy, this might the name of the Java field, or be inferred from a getter/setter based on the usual Java beans conventions.

Returns:

the name of the Cassandra column or field. If you want the mapping to be case-insensitive, this should be in lower case.
